Descripción
This paper presents a comprehensive annotated bibliography of the most contemporary and seminal vulnerability methodologies over the last decade, focusing particularly on vulnerability to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. The bibliography was developed as a background paper for an international expert workshop in Namibia in 2013 on climate change vulnerability methodologies, coordinated by the FAO. A significant degree of confusion and debate surrounds vulnerability assessm ents and the methods through which vulnerability should be measured in order to provide an accurate assessment that can feed into effective polices and strategies for adaptation and vulnerability reduction. A clear and structured approach is presented in the annotated bibliography by dividing the paper into seven main sections; reviews, frameworks, drivers of change, scale, fishery and farming ecosystem, species and vessel segment, and special considerations. A comprehensive range of vulnerabili ty methodologies were incorporated in the annotated bibliography, crossing a multitude of scales, approaches and disciplines. The paper identifies a number of important connections and links between the vulnerability literature, which was developed through the use of 33 sub-sections and by cross referencing throughout the bibliography, further assisting in the clarification of vulnerability methodologies.
